Chapter 157

A wonderful picture seemed to appear before the eyes of the senior officials of Yanyin Village.

If Uchiha Shingen knew what they were thinking now, he would slap the table on the spot and laugh wildly.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know yet.

At this moment, he was sitting on a chair in the hotel like an old man, accepting the flattery of a group of old pigeons. The tea on the table was always being filled with enthusiasm.

The hotel waiter was kicked out directly, with the reason: "We need to discuss a peace treaty between the two villages, and please understand that confidentiality is involved."

As soon as the waiter left, the old pigeons volunteered to be waiters, and the younger pigeons could only look at the seniors with envy as they occupied the most advantageous consulting position.

Uchiha Shingen was very distressed.

In fact, he doesn't want to be so high-profile. His working principle is to do things in a high-profile manner and be a low-key person.

But the old pigeons are too enthusiastic.

"Your Majesty, how do you understand this sentence about 'letter of guarantee'?" The old pigeon of the Shimura family held the note and shook his head.

"Oh, uncle..."

"Hi! What are you calling me, uncle? Let's call you brother!" Brother Shimura waved his hand angrily, "Although Mr. Fugaku and I have been friends for many years, we can also be friends, and we can each have our own way."

"Okay, brother." Uchiha Shingen had no choice but to comply with the other party's wishes, and then explained it properly.

"This is prepared for Iwagakure Village. After all, Iwagakure Village also has its own favors. In order to protect the interests of the nobles, certain credit-enhancing measures must be taken. For example, their ninja village mission funds can be deposited in the association. It’s a designated bank.”

"Then how do we know if they are all really saved?"

"Simple, set up a special trading institution modeled on the gold exchange in the Country of Grass. People who go to Iwagakure to invest in tasks come here to invest. This place is jointly managed by Konoha and Iwagakure. After collecting the task money, It is directly entered into the account here, but a part must be withheld and returned together after the debt is paid off.”

"Then there's no benefit to us?"

"Oh, that's not the case. After all, when this part is within the blockade period, the bank can use it to invest in other projects. According to the agreement, Konoha must share the profits. Brother, look again, this credit enhancement is Specially used for mid- to long-term products, ranging from three to thirty years.”

"Oh? That's it!" Brother Shimura suddenly realized.

"Hey, everyone, everyone, listen to me." Seeing a large group of people holding notes and eyes shining behind Brother Shimura, Uchiha Shingen couldn't help but feel guilty.

Are you so studious? Why didn't I see you guys working so hard when you were in the ninja school?

Do you really love learning more and more as you get older?

"Today, everyone traveled a long distance and had a meeting immediately after arriving at Iwagakure. Everyone is very tired. Let's take a good rest. I predict that Iwagakure will initiate the second round of talks as soon as possible after tonight."

"Ah, yes, yes!" Old Pigeon Brother Shimura took on the role of patron saint, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Brother Shingen is so tired today, he should have a good rest. What if he collapses from exhaustion? ?ah!?"

All the old pigeons were stunned at first, and then got angry.

Why the hell weren't you the one who asked the most questions?

You said you felt good and wanted to rest?

However, there is some truth in that.

"Brother Shingen, you need to get more rest. You are a valuable talent in the village!" Old Pigeon No. 2 immediately followed, "Brother Fugaku told us back then that the Uchiha clan will ask you to carry the burden in the future. You can pay attention to your schedule. oh."

"That's right, that's right. We are all friends. If we don't miss this little time, it's time for Brother Shingen to rest!"

"Old thief Shimura! Get out of the way quickly, you're blocking Brother Shingen's way back to his room!"

Uchiha Shingen showed an awkward yet polite smile.

They are indeed the old pigeons who worked closely with Danzo Shimura back then.

Most of the enemies who were tricked by Shinobi's Darkness were first deceived by the sweet talk of these old pigeons. They really thought that Konoha had given in, and then were tricked one by one by Shimura Danzo.

Uchiha Shingen was afraid that they would mess up, not because he doubted their professional level, but because these people were unfamiliar with the way he was playing, and it would be easy to spoil things if he interfered randomly.

But it looks good now. Their desire to learn is too great, and after a little popularization of basic knowledge today, it can also be a boost for the next meeting.

He is determined to eat the meat of Yanyin Village!

Chapter 18 Uchiha Shingen takes a break from his busy schedule

The saying that there is strength in numbers is still true.

The senior management of Iwagakure Village quickly got into the mood after getting over the initial discomfort.

Those who can reach high-level positions among the five major ninja villages can always digest new knowledge very quickly.

The same goes for the pigeons in Konoha. It's not easy to be a pigeon. You have to think fast at the very least.

However, a bunch of fragmented knowledge and brainstorming without the slightest foundation cannot compete with a mature and systematic mechanism supported by a knowledge system.

Not to mention the Iwagakure Village, even in the Konoha Hidden Village, only the upper echelons of the Uchiha clan have systematically received Uchiha Shingen's day-after-day indoctrination of knowledge, while the others only seem to understand.

Therefore, from the surface, the current Uchiha clan is more concerned about the prosperity and development of the Land of Fire and Konoha than ever before. This is also because Uchiha Shingen has repeatedly told them that our entire set of actions does not create any wealth in essence. After that, everyone will be done with it.

It is because of this understanding that all other rights of the Uchiha clan in the association are shared with Konoha and the Fire Daimyofu. Only risk control is managed by themselves alone. Those who do not meet the rigid conditions set by Uchiha Shingen will not be approved. .

Even so, every three months, the association comes up with a set of big data statistics for Uchiha Shingen to take a look at.

The investigation of the Earth Kingdom has already begun.

All designs for the Kingdom of Earth have been discussed countless times.

To put it bluntly, Uchiha Shingen understands the market of Earth Country better than Ohnoki, and the needs of Iwagakure Village and Earth Daiming Palace. He knows where the bottom line is and how much space he can throw away.

Among the many terms with Iwagakure Village, Uchiha Shingen must get his hands on the pledge of the charging rights for non-state entrusted tasks by chuunin and above ninjas in Iwagakure Village, as well as the use rights of designated banks and deposited funds.

Not only can a part of the funds of Iwagakure Village be locked up for Konoha's use, but through the flow of funds, the situation of the senior ninjas in the Iwagakure legion can also be understood, which is much more reliable than purchasing information from Kusagakure before.

All the senior officials of Iwagakure Village are human beings, but this does not prevent them from entering Uchiha Shingen's trap.

This is a completely different set of game rules from the past. Although it is still a seedling, it is enough for Uchiha Shingen to have an absolute advantage. The individual shrewdness of the top management of Iwagakure Village does not affect their defense power, which is 0.

For example, from the scale of the task fee and the frequency of attendance, you can roughly judge what level and type of tasks are performed, and the customers who come to pay the task fee can roughly judge the approximate scope of activities and other information of the task.

All data collection is not done by Konoha ninjas, but by banks. It is normal business information and there is nothing to question. It will just be included in the association's statistical report on each bank, and then Presented in front of Konoha.

Over time, Iwagakure's middle- and upper-level ninjas no longer have many secrets in front of Konoha. How many middle- and upper-level ninjas can be mobilized in Iwagakure Village? If there is a war, how will the personnel be deployed? Konoha will be better than Iwagakure. Yin is still clear.

Going a step further, since the association has gradually become an important means of regulating the development of the national economy in Daming Mansion, with the entry of such a large-scale leek from the Earth Kingdom, all classes in the Fire Kingdom can benefit. This is no better than before. That crude method is much stronger? Look what the Kingdom of Rain has been sucked into?

The original space-time whirlpool Nagato ran to blow up Konoha in the name of Pain, not only to obtain the Nine-Tails, but also to represent the anger that the people of the small country had accumulated for a long time.

The fundamental reason is that the way big countries suck the blood of small countries is too rough, almost barbaric and leaves no room for mercy.

That's why Nagato said those words to Tsunade - your peace is violence against us!

When he exploded Konoha, he was justified in doing so, and this was indeed the case.

Since whoever is stronger can do whatever he wants, why can't he, who has the Samsara Eye and has collected most of the tailed beasts?

As the rounds of talks began, Uchiha Shingen's work began to become easier.

After all, the old pigeons have very strong learning ability, and Uchiha Shingen has already told them the bottom line. Before finally reaching a consensus, it is the time for the old pigeons to play freely.

This can lay the foundation for Uchiha Shingen's final "concession" and "no concession".

Later, Uchiha Shingen simply didn't attend because it was a waste of time.

He started to visit Iwagakure.

He was still quite curious about this village.

As far as exotic scenery is concerned, it’s just a trip at public expense.

And with Iwa Ninja as a tour guide, why not?

"Xiao Di..." Uchiha Shingen pointed to a castle and asked, "You put catering here, won't everyone feel depressed when eating?"

"This is how it is in the village." Deidara said, taking over the task of being a tour guide. In fact, he didn't really like it because he really likes practicing now. "Besides, as for Konoha, don't everyone eat in the room? "

"That's different." Uchiha Shingen shook his head, "Our place has good air circulation."

"It's also popular here." Deidara was puzzled.

Why is there so much emphasis on having a meal?

"Okay, what are you going to eat today?" Uchiha Shingen looked at the puzzled little boy, "Kurotsuchi likes to play with you so much, why are you ignoring me today?"

"Tch! Children are the most troublesome!" Deidara felt his head hurt when he heard Kurotsuchi's name. "I still have to practice. How can I have so much time to play with her."

"Hey! You're quite Versailles. It's not good to have a childhood sweetheart." Uchiha Shingen laughed, "Like me, I don't have a girl I grew up with."

"What is Versailles?" Deidara was confused as he walked on the suspension bridge, but thinking that Konoha White Ghost had a lot of inexplicable vocabulary anyway, he didn't care.

He ran across the drawbridge and entered the new fortress.

"Sir Shingen, entering from here is the famous snack house in the village. You can try it." Deidara pointed to the passage ahead and said.

"Oh?" Uchiha Shingen stepped here, "It sounds good, take a look."

Deidara nodded and walked forward.

"By the way, in such a big building, only snacks are available?"

"Also, you can go boating on the lower level, and you can buy things and watch theater on the upper level."

"I see, it's a commercial complex."

"What commercial complex?" Deidara's little ears perked up again.

"Why do you, a little kid, have so many problems? Where's the food? You've been walking for a long time."

"Tch! If you don't say it, don't say it. You're stingy!"

Deidara curled his lips and complained, then his eyes lit up as he looked ahead, and his pace quickened.

The passage has reached the end, and there is a lot of people in front of it. A vast space filled with various shops appears in front of Uchiha Shingen.

The aroma of food greets you.

Chapter 19 Final Negotiations Begin

After spending a few days strolling around Iwagakure, Uchiha Shingen felt that this village was actually pretty good.

The old man from the first generation was quite good at selecting sites.

This is a rare treasure in the Kingdom of Earth. Even though there are stone particles taking off outside and there are snowy mountains to the north, the climate is not bad.

This can be seen from the fact that the girls in Iwagakure Village like to wear fishnet stockings.

There are no fleece stockings here.

It's really neither cold nor hot, that's why the ladies wear it like this.

The skin is also very good, which proves that this land and water nourish people.

The commercial layout of Iwagakure Village also allowed Uchiha Shingen to relive his memories of the common commercial complexes on Blue Star.

Thinking back to the beginning, the one-stop movie and meal routine became his basic way of passing time for a long time.

The snacks in Yanyin Village also have a unique flavor. The cuisine here is more like the northwest cuisine of my hometown, and the mutton is very good.

As for Uchiha Shingen's eating and drinking, Iwagakure Village also gave a high degree of satisfaction.

Because while talking, as the information returned to the village one by one, the senior officials of Iwagakure Village also came to their senses.

There is no need to consider whether the Hokage agrees with this matter at all, as long as Uchiha Shingen agrees.

Of course, you have to gain a good impression.

Just how much money can be spent on food and drink, and Iwagakure Village is not that poor.

Therefore, Uchiha Shingen was having a good time in Iwagakure Village for more than half a month.

During this time, Deidara still could not escape Kurotsuchi's clutches, and had to take Kurotsuchi to practice together.

Uchiha Shingen didn't care about these two, and he was now gradually becoming familiar with Iwagakure Village.

However, negotiations between the two parties have also reached the final stage.

The last negotiation was for a formal signing. Uchiha Shingen would attend again. He brought the Hokage's signature seal and would officially sign a contract with Ohnoki as Namikaze Minato's authorized representative.

The night before the negotiation, he drafted an agreement based on the results of the old pigeons' discussions.

I went through which ones can be deleted and which ones can be adjusted, so that I know what to do.

The next day, he took the envoy and once again entered the conference hall that had been away for half a month.

At this time, the attitude of Iwagakure's senior officials towards the Konoha mission was completely different from what it had been at the beginning.
